Microsoft Windows. The potential vulnerabilities could be
exploited to allow remote unauthorized access to files via
directory traversal.

References: CVE-2005-2006

SUPPORTED SOFTWARE VERSIONS*: ONLY impacted versions are listed.
HP SIM 4.2, HP SIM 4.2 SP1, HP SIM 4.2 SP2,
HP SIM 5.0, HP SIM 5.0 SP1, HP SIM 5.0 SP2, HP SIM 5.0 SP3

BACKGROUND

The Hewlett-Packard Company thanks
Matthew Cook (http://escarpment.net/), Loughborough University and
Paul Whitton (http://splurby.net/), Loughborough University
for reporting this vulnerability to security-alert@xxxxxxx

Two potential directory traversal vulnerabilities have been
identified within HP Systems Insight Manager.

The first is a potential vulnerability associated with the use of
JBOSS 3.2.7 which could allow an unauthorized user access to files
on the local file system. This issue is identified by the
following candidate for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures(CVE):

CVE-2005-2006 - JBOSS 3.2.2 through 3.2.7 and 4.0.2 allows remote
attackers to obtain sensitive information via a GET request.

The following URL at the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures(CVE)
website can be used to find more detailed information regarding
the above listed CVE numbers: http://www.cve.mitre.org/

The affected versions for the first potential vulnerability
related to CVE-2005-2006 are:

HP SIM 5.0
HP SIM 5.0 SP1
HP SIM 5.0 SP2
HP SIM 5.0 SP3
Only for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP.

The affected versions for the second potential vulnerability are:

HP SIM 4.2
HP SIM 4.2 SP1
HP SIM 4.2 SP2
HP SIM 5.0
HP SIM 5.0 SP1
HP SIM 5.0 SP2
HP SIM 5.0 SP3
Only for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP.


RESOLUTION

These issues can be addressed by manually editing configuration
files in the HP SIM installation as described below.

First Issue (CVE-2005-2006):

This requires a single line modification to an XML configuration
file. The affected file is located in the
  <installdir>/jboss/server/hpsim/conf
directory and is called jboss-service.xml

Note: <installdir> is the base directory where HP SIM is
installed. A typical default installation would be
"C:\program files\hp\Systems Insight Manager"?.

First the file should be copied to a backup location. If there are
problems in the editing process the original file can be restored.

Next edit the jboss-service.xml file and search for 50013. The
following text will be seen:

<mbean code="org.jboss.web.WebService"
   name="jboss:service=WebService">
   <attribute name="Port">50013</attribute>
   <!-- Should resources and non-EJB classes be downloadable -->
   <attribute name="DownloadServerClasses">true</attribute>
   <attribute name="Host">${jboss.bind.address}</attribute>
   <attribute name="BindAddress">${jboss.bind.address}</attribute>
</mbean>

Change the following line:

<attribute name="DownloadServerClasses">true</attribute>

To:

<attribute name="DownloadServerClasses">false</attribute>


After editing the text should look like this:

<mbean code="org.jboss.web.WebService"
   name="jboss:service=WebService">
   <attribute name="Port">50013</attribute>
   <!-- Should resources and non-EJB classes be downloadable -->
   <attribute name="DownloadServerClasses">false</attribute>
   <attribute name="Host">${jboss.bind.address}</attribute>
   <attribute name="BindAddress">${jboss.bind.address}</attribute>
</mbean>

Save the file. After applying the change for the second issue
(below) restart HP SIM.

Second Issue:

This requires a single line modification to a resource file. The
affected file is located in the
   <installdir>\hpwebadmin\webapps\mxhelp\WEB-INF\cgi
directory and is called .namazurc

Note: <installdir> is the base directory where HP SIM is
installed. A typical default installation would be
"C:\program files\hp\Systems Insight Managerr".

First the file should be copied to a backup location. If there are
problems in the editing process the original file can be restored.

Next edit the .namazurc file and search for #Lang. The following
text will be seen:

   #Lang ja

If the HP SIM installation is an English language installation
change the line to:

   Lang en

If the HP SIM installation is a Japanese language installation
change the line to:

   Lang ja_JP.SJIS

Note: Make sure to remove the # at the beginning of the line.

Save the file and restart HP SIM.

This Security Bulletin will be revised if other solutions become
available.
